Red Kite

Spotted a Red Kite enjoying a thermal over my garden in Haverfordwest about half an hour ago. No camera to hand, sadly. This is the second time I have seen it.
Considering my location, near to Morrisons, off Crow Hill, I have taken a pigeon to the Vet this morning as a result of a Sparrow Hawk attack, come home and seen a Red Kite, often seen Buzzards over here and once saw two Perigrines being chased (for want of a better word) by Seagulls. Perigrines simply folded their wings, came down like a couple of darts then pulled out of their dives and left the Seagulls"standing". I think that is a pretty good collection of birds of prey seen in an ordinary back garden.
